Age-dependent reference intervals for estimated and measured glomerular filtration rate.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDefining mean and reference intervals for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been the subject of only a limited number of studies and review articles, with contradicting statements about the mean. Normal measured GFR (mGFR) values of ∼120-130 mL/min/1.73 m
methodsBased on the reference intervals for serum creatinine (SCr) and the recently published full-age spectrum (FAS) equation, we define simple age-dependent equations for the reference limits of GFR. The mGFR of 633 living potential kidney donors was used to validate the new formulae that define the reference interval.
resultsThe reference limits for estimated GFR (eGFR), calculated by entering the reference limits for SCr into the FAS equation closely correspond with published reference limits for mGFR. Of the mGFRs of potential living kidney donors, 97.2% lie between the newly defined reference limits for GFR.
conclusionSCr reference limits may serve to define age-dependent reference limits for eGFR and mGFR.
